Chapter 121 Prayer
The approaching stick made Cheng Yijie stagger two steps and he almost fell in: "Madam Xu, I didn't provoke you, why do you treat me like this."
"You also said that putting nails in their shoes and cutting holes in their cotton-padded jackets were all done by you. People always have to pay the price for their actions!" Xu Miaomiao went a step further.
Looking at the nearby manure pit, Cheng Yijie burst into tears: "I was wrong. I just wanted to play with them, but they never took me with them. I'm sorry. I won't do that again."
"You promise!" Xu Miaomiao said to the boy in front of her.
The boy, who was sobbing, nodded: "I promise."
After hearing this, Xu Miaomiao put away the stick and let the boy go down. She knew that a child of this age would not have any bad intentions, and there must be some misunderstanding, which has now been resolved.
"You have to make friends the right way. You'll just push them further away. Got it?"
Cheng Yijie nodded hesitantly and looked at Xu Miaomiao: "I understand. I will never do this again."
"Well, let's go."
After getting the answer, Xu Miaomiao let the boy go. When Cheng Yiji heard this, he ran away as if he was escaping, not daring to look back.
Because the emperor had gone back early, Nangong Jin did not dare to stay here any longer, and hurried to the inn to protect the emperor. He also specially left Dabao and Li Yi behind to have a reunion dinner together.
In the restaurant, the family gathered together for a rare occasion, and Xu Miaomiao also specially called Song Wushao over.
The father and son hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they were somewhat speechless.
"The imperial examination will be held in a few days. I wish you the best."
As he spoke, Dabao picked up the teacup in front of him and looked at Song Wushao.
Song Wu Shao replied lazily with a "hmm" and drank all the tea in front of him.
"Where is the pretty boy going?"
Lan Yin blinked her eyes and asked curiously. Just as she finished speaking, she saw Li Yi walking in from outside.
"Have all the people been sent away?" Xu Miaomiao asked. She had just asked Li Yi to go and see if all the people had left to avoid any mistakes.
Li Yi nodded and touched his head again: "It's strange to say that Cheng Yijie, who was arguing with us earlier, actually took the initiative to ask us. I don't know what he wants to do."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao curled the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly. It seemed that her method was still useful.
The moonlight outside the window rose slowly with laughter and joy. Seeing that it was getting late, Li Yi and Dabao also stood up one after another: "We are out with Mr. Nangong this time. If we go back too late, it may be inconvenient, so we will go back first."
After listening to Li Yi, Dabao nodded in agreement: "Take care, mother and father."
Xu Miaomiao nodded with satisfaction and watched Dabao and Li Yi leave.
One of them holds a long sword, and the other holds a red tasseled spear, and they really look like young generals.
Seeing Xu Miaomiao staring at her back as she left, Gu Yuanniang put her arm around her shoulder in comfort: "Don't worry, we'll see each other again someday."
Xu Miaomiao nodded with tears in her eyes.
"By the way, Liu Niang, I won't be here tomorrow. Please take care of the store."
"Is there anything important happening tomorrow?" Gu Yuanniang looked at Xu Miaomiao and asked curiously.
Xu Miaomiao shook her head: "Song Wushao is about to take the imperial examination. I will go to the temple to ask for a peace talisman tomorrow."
Gu Yuanniang nodded and responded to Xu Miaomiao: "Don't forget to ask for one point for Ling'er as well."
Xu Miaomiao laughed and looked at Gu Yuanniang: "Of course, yours is indispensable."
After that, everyone went home under the moonlight.
Since Xu Miaomiao didn’t have to go to the store today, she got a rare chance to sleep for a long time.
When she got up, she saw the porridge being warmed in the pot for her. She ate a few mouthfuls and prepared to go out.
Perhaps because the scientific expedition is imminent, quite a few people come.
After Xu Miaomiao finished praying and was about to pick up the two amulets, she turned around and bumped into the host holding water.
Summer clothes are already a little thin, and with the large amount of cold water, Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but sneeze.
"My apologies, madam. Please change your clothes in the side room of our hospital."
Xu Miaomiao looked at the water stains on her body and nodded. Apart from changing her clothes, she really couldn't think of any other solution.
It just happened that this scene was seen by the woman next to him.
Chun He narrowed his eyes and saw everything that had just happened. He immediately ordered the servant beside him: "Go and see Xu Miaomiao getting a wing room. Find a way to get this into the house."
The maid beside her tremblingly took the medicine bag handed over by Chunhe and immediately followed Xu Miaomiao to find it.
The backyard of the temple was particularly quiet. As soon as Xu Miaomiao turned the corner, she keenly noticed the shadow behind her.
"Come right here, my lady. Please wait a moment, I will bring you some clothes." The host looked at Xu Miaomiao and said.
Xu Miaomiao nodded, said thank you, and walked into the house.
Not long after I entered the house, I saw smoke slowly coming in through the window.
Xu Miaomiao took out the antidote from the space and swallowed it, then fell on the table and pretended to faint.
The door was opened, sunlight shone into the room, and the woman standing in the shadow looked a little weird.
Chun He's fingertips brushed across Xu Miaomiao's cheek, and he said in a proud tone: "I never thought that Xu Miaomiao, you would one day fall into my hands."
"Madam, how are you going to deal with her? Are you going to scratch her face?"
The maidservant beside her looked at Chunhe's appearance and spoke.
Chun He shook his head and said, "But this is too good for her. I want to ruin her reputation. Go find me a man, preferably a beggar, a gambler or some other shameless person. Then go get Song Wu Shao. I want to see how this woman with no reputation can raise her head again!"
As soon as the words fell, the maid answered yes and left immediately.
When Xu Miaomiao listened to the woman's plan, she felt a chill in her heart. This Chunhe really hated her to the extreme.
Just as the woman turned around, Xu Miaomiao slowly stood up and hit the woman on the head with a wooden stick.
Looking at Chunhe who had fainted on the ground, Xu Miaomiao put her on the table and then stopped.
Clapping her hands, Xu Miaomiao looked at the fainted Chunhe and said with some regret: "She is obviously a beauty, how can she be so vicious? It's just that I am not lucky enough to have this man, so I'd better leave her to you."
After saying that, Xu Miaomiao turned and left.
She originally planned to go home directly, but then she remembered that Chunhe said she would call Song Wushao to take a look. Xu Miaomiao felt very uncomfortable and went to Cui Yuanwai's mansion immediately.
Because she had a relationship with Mr. Zhao, and her daughter was learning business from Xu Miaomiao, Cui Yuan did not dare to hesitate and immediately called Xu Miaomiao in.
"What brings you here today, Madam Xu?"
Cui Yuan handed over a cup of tea and looked at Xu Miaomiao and asked.
